We give a lower bound for the energy of a quantum particle in the infinite square well. We show that the bound is exact and identify the well-known element that fulfils the equality. Our approach is not directly dependent on the…

The particle in a well in dimension one is a classical problem in quantum mechanics. We study higher-dimensional analogues of the problem, where the well is a smooth domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We show that simple eigenvalues and…

The finite square potential well is a staple problem in introductory quantum mechanics. There is an extensive literature on the determination of the allowed energies, which requires the solution of a transcendental equation by numerical,…

This paper is a direct illustration of a construction of coherent states which has been recently proposed by two of us (JPG and JK). We have chosen the example of a particle trapped in an infinite square-well and also in P\"oschl-Teller…

We study the quantum behaviour of a particle moving in a one-dimensional double well potential. This double well is obtained by gluing together, at the origin, two shifted harmonic oscillator potentials. The Schr\"odinger equation is…

Individual quantum objects display inseparable coexisting wave-like properties and particle-like properties; such inseparable coexistence can seem paradoxical and mind-boggling. The apparent paradox is resolved by the unified theory of…

We give precise meaning to piecewise constant potentials in non-commutative quantum mechanics. In particular we discuss the infinite and finite non-commutative spherical well in two dimensions. Using this, bound-states and scattering can be…

Recent developments in quantum physics make heavy use of so-called "quantum trajectories." Mathematically, this theory gives rise to "stochastic Schr\"odinger equations", that is, perturbation of Schr\"odinger-type equations under the form…

We treat two aspects of the physics of stationary black holes. First we prove that the proportionality, d(energy) ~ d(area) for arbitrary perturbations (``extended first law''), follows directly from an extremality theorem drawn from…
